Malcolm McDowell to give Cannes masterclass

Malcolm McDowell has been confirmed for a Cannes masterclass at this year's festival.

The actor will give the talk on Friday, May 20 at a class moderated by Stanley Kubrick expert Michael Ciment.

Following the masterclass, there will be a premiere of Antoine de Gaudemar and Michel Ciment's Once Upon a Time... Clockwork Orange.

The previous day, McDowell will also attend the screening of a restored print of Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange to mark its 40th anniversary and upcoming Blu-ray release. Kubrick's collaborator Jan Harlan and widow Christiane will also be present at the screening.

A Clockwork Orange is presented at Cannes as part of the Cannes Classics selection. The selection was founded in 2004 to allow the festival to showcase heritage cinema, rediscovered films, restored prints and theatrical, television or DVD releases of past work.
